"Straight from the playbook of tobacco".
The Stove Industry Association has been pressuring councils to tone down their public health campaigns, telling them they were exploring options for potential legal action.
This stinks even more than the burning they promote. #WoodBurning #AirPollution
Lobbyists for the UK wood-burning stove industry have threatened councils with legal action over public information campaigns warning of the harms of air pollution from the stoves

I am grateful for the people who went to do door-knocking from all over the country, and for all the volunteers who helped to make this happen.
I just watched @peteknapp.bsky.social's AMAZING film, Fires and Fascism.
It's a detailed, well-researched, and personal reflection from people living through wildfires across the Mediterranean, and the link with the rise of the far right.
If you're in the UK, go see it! fires-and-fascism.co.uk
This is a straight up plug, but...
If you're curious about what this felt like & exactly what led up to it, I have a chapter in 'Scientists on Survival' where I recount the details.
